Since I’ve been photographing in the parks and streets of Vienna, I have discovered how much beauty there is in the most ordinary of situations. When I have my camera, I notice things on my way that normally would have passed me by

Black and white photographs forever after.

I have recently been thinking about my fascination of black and white photographs. Sometimes I would look at a photograph and immediately feel it should be in black and white rather than colour. I can then almost hear my dad’s voice saying

If it wasn't for George and the 20 hour theory.

I can clearly remember the conversation with my friend George about Josh Kaufman’s 20 hour theory. George is a friend of mine from my years in high school, and he comes to visit me now and again when he’s in Vienna for business.

Does photography gear matter?

Now the one thing that I feel strongly about is the fact that the gear you have is not the thing that would guarantee an interesting picture.

A new perspective

The history of architecture teaches us that every generation of architects have made left their mark on the cities of the world…

Capture the magic

After a few hours out shooting, it’s always good to come and have a look what I have managed to capture. It’s like biting into a Topfenbällchen.

What I had to learn is that the light of the midday sun is a force to be reckoned with. What I saw with my eyes and what I captured, were not always the same, especially when I download the images on my computer.

Vienna, the city of music

Before crossing the bridge over the canal in Vienna’s Stadtpark, you can already hear the music. The musician in his spot, playing for his walk-by audience.

A Winter’s tale

It’s not without a reason that seasons are used to describe our different moods. Just like in the David Essex song, ‘A Winter’s Tale’, the sense of sadness and loneliness are linked with the cold of winter. I found that even when taking photographs during the winter, certain scenes definitely have this melancholy feel.

A string of pearls

Children have a magical way of doing ordinary things. How they see and interact with the world around them is always fascinating to see. When you have a camera for these moments, it only gets better! You can capture these once in a lifetime moments, that can never be recreated.

All you need is love

My Children call me “cheesy” but I call it “In love with love” . When you had your teenage years in the late 70’s and early 80’s you may be forgiven for being a bit “cheesy”. Actually it’s simple: All you need is love
